The
Islamic State will continue to advance until it is stopped. This isn’t
difficult to understand. It has avowed designs on the whole world. It
will keep advancing until someone stops it. “Islamic State closes in on
Syrian town, refugees flood into Turkey,” by Daren Butler and Sylvia
Westall, Reuters, September 21, 2014: (Reuters) – […]

“The
accused are strongly suspected of having received training in fire arms
and hand grenades and to have subsequently taken part in operations
[organized] by the terror organization.” Did they have plans to mount
further jihad attacks in Germany? Whether or not they did, some of their
coreligionists will attempt to do so sooner or […]

This
message, full of threats and murder, boasting and Qur’an quotations
(all the citations in this piece are from the Qur’an), has just been
released. Even just a cursory reading shows the absurdity of blandly
asserting that the Islamic State’s ideology has nothing to do with
Islam. Tony Blair is right: the free world does […]

He
says that the free world must combat the ideology of the Islamic State,
while retailing the usual soothing fictions about where its ideology
comes from. Blair said in 2007 that “to me, the most remarkable thing
about the Koran is how progressive it is,” and added this in 2008: “I
regularly read the Koran, […]

2014: Some commanding officers in the Australian Defence Force have been

Jordan
is included among the countries that the Islamic State has stated it
wants to conquer first — before it continues to expand to the rest of
the world, of course. “Jordan arrests 11 alleged IS members over
terrorist plot,” AFP-JIJI, September 22, 2014: AMMAN – Jordan has arrested 11 members of the Islamic State […]

In
PJ Media I explain why this plan that both Democrats and Republicans is
a recipe for disaster: Demonstrating yet again that we do not have an
effective opposition party in the United States right now, the
Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted Wednesday in favor of Barack Obama’s plan to arm and train “vetted” members […]

The
Dalai Lama joins Barack Obama, David Cameron, Tony Abbott, Pope
Francis, and myriad other non-Muslims who know exactly how the Muslims
of the Islamic State are misusing Islam. None of them have yet explained
how this “misuse” of Islam became so widespread. None of them have yet
explained why so many Muslims from Western […]

“Underscoring
the ability of Islamic State insurgents to remain on the offensive
despite expanded airstrikes from the United States.” The Islamic State
is a larger problem than anyone wants to admit, and not just militarily.

withdrawal,” by Loveday Morris, Washington Post, September 21 at 12:54

Actually,
there are plenty of condemnations. Many Muslim organizations worldwide
have condemned the Islamic State. What we don’t see are actual organized
efforts by Muslim leaders to teach Muslims to reject the understanding
of Islam that the Islamic State represents. If all the condemnations
were sincere, we would see more direct action against the Islamic […]

Or
the Zionists, of course: “It is obvious to everyone that the Islamic
State is a creation of the United States and Israel.” Conspiracy

Islamic State Are United,” by David D. Kirkpatrick, New York Times,
September 20, 2014: BAGHDAD — The United States has conducted […]

Bravo.
Ted Cruz tried to introduce a similar measure in the Senate, but was
blocked. All Western governments should be doing this. “Canadian
government begins invalidating passports of citizens who have left to
join extremist groups,” by Stewart Bell, National Post, September 20,
2014: The government has begun invalidating the passports of Canadians
who have […]
